They are NOT boxes. On those grounds alone, "give box" is a very bad name. In any case, who is doing the giving to whom? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give-away_shop uses the generic term "give-away shop" (which I think is too clunky) and has alternatives "freeshop" and "swap shop." I think "freeshop" describes it far better than "give box." I think "swap shop" is a sub-category of "freeshop" in that a swap shop requires an exchange, and whatever we end up calling it we need a subtag to specify whether an exchange is required. -- Paul
